USER GUIDE / ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, the following safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and injury to people.

• Read and understand all instructions.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked

on the equipment.

• Installation must be performed in accordance

with all national wiring rules.

• The outlet to which this equipment is con-

nected must be installed near the equipment,

and must always be readily accessible.

• This equipment can be hazardous if im-

mersed in water. To avoid the possibility of

electrical shock, do not use this equipment

while you are in the bathtub or shower, or

when you are wet. If you accidentally drop

the equipment into water, do not retrieve

it until you have ﬁrst unplugged all cords.

Do not reconnect this equipment until it has

dried thoroughly.

• Avoid using this equipment during electrical

storms in your immediate area. There is a

remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Urgent calls should be brief. Even though

protective measures may have been installed

to limit electrical surges from entering your

home or business, absolute protection from

lightning is impossible.

• If you suspect a natural gas leak, report it

immediately, but use a telephone away from

the area in question. The SoundStation2

Avaya’s electrical contacts could generate a

tiny spark. While unlikely, it is possible that

this spark could ignite heavy concentrations

of gas.

• Never push objects of any kind into the

SoundStation2 Avaya through housing slots

as they may touch hazardous voltage points

or short out parts that could result in a risk

of electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the telephone. If liquid is spilled,

contact service personnel.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

disassemble SoundStation2 Avaya. Opening

or removing covers may expose you to

hazardous voltages. Using incorrectly reas-

sembled equipment can cause electric shock.

If your telephone equipment does not work

properly, refer to the section describing how

to connect service. The support telephone

number can be found on the back cover of

this booklet.

• Never install telephone wiring during a

lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations

unless the jack is speciﬁcally designed for

wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or

terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected from the network interface.

• Always use caution when installing or

modifying telephone lines.

nection to the wall jack, and for

your phone should you choose that

option. This cable has a smaller

connector on one end, so try it both

ways.

You have the option to install a

DEFINITY series telephone along with

your SoundStation2 Avaya:

1. P

lug the DEFINITY Telephone

cable into the jack on the Interface

Module indicated by the telephone

icon .

► If the connector does not fit you

will need one of the optional

cables as a replacement for your

phone cable. This cable has a

smaller connector on one end, so

try it both ways.

2. Plug the long ‘Console to Interface

Module’

cable into the jack on the

Interface Module labeled with the

icon as shown.

telephone network can be connected to
